FOLK MEDICINE IN VERMONTis interested
in three R's-Resistance, Repair, and Recovery. First the individual asks
himself whether his resistance to disease is as it should be. Next, is
he able to repair tissue injury due to accident should it occur? Finally,
if sickness should come, is his body able to bring about recovery? Somehow
during the passing years he has learned that iodine is related to the ability
to resist disease.Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland's proper performance of
its work. The human thyroid gland is located in the front of the lower
part of the neck. All the blood in the body passes through the thyroid
gland every 17 minutes. Because the cells making up this gland have an
affinity for iodine, during this 17-minute passage the gland's secretion
of iodine kills weak germs that may have gained entry into the blood
through an injury to the skin, the lining of nose or throat, or through
absorption of food from the digestive tract. Strong, virulent germs are
rendered weaker during their passage through the thyroid gland. With each
17 minutes that rolls around they are made still weaker until finally they
are killed if the gland has its normal supply of iodine. If it does not,
it cannot kill harmful germs circulating in the blood as Nature intended
it should.

It is well established that the iodine content of the thyroid gland
is dependent upon the iodine available in the food and water intake of
the individual. If the iodine intake is low the gland is deprived of an
element it needs to do its work.

We learn in Vermont folk medicine, however, that this gland performs
other functions besides killing harmful germs in the blood. The first is
the rebuilding of energy with which to do the day's work. There is a definite
relationship be-tween the amount of energy you have and your iodine intake.
The first question in the presence of a condition of depleted energy is,
Is the soil of the state in which one lives iodine-poor? Second, is the
deficiency being made up by supple-mentary means? All soils containing
granite are iodine-poor and Vermont is one of them. This fact is very important
to people living in Vermont and well may be important to those living elsewhere.
When energy and endurance run low in relation to doing the day's work,
then the taking of iodine needs to be considered.

A second function of iodine is to calm
the body and relieve nervous tension. When nervous tension runs high
there is irritability and difficulty in sleeping well at night, and the
body is continually on a combat basis, organized for fight and flight.
All these points stress
a body's need for iodine to lessen nervous tension, relax the body and
enable it to or-ganize for peace and quiet, by the building and storing
of body reserves against time of need. I have learned through Vermont folk
medicine that it is possible to repeatedly change an irritable, impatient,
and restless child under ten years of age into a calm, patient individual
within two hours' time by giving one drop of Lugol's solution of iodine
by mouth in a vegetable or fruit juice or in a glass of water made acid
in reaction by adding a teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar. I have repeatedly
prescribed this in order to make it possible for a mother of a racehorse-type
little boy or girl to be able to live comfortably with the child. I have
never seen it fail to calm down a nervous child.

A third function of iodine in the human body relates to clear thinking.
The mind simply works better when the body is supplied the iodine it needs.Then there is the matter of the storing of unwanted fat. Iodine
is one of the best oxidizing catalysts we have. A catalyst is the match
which touches off in the body the fire that burns up the food we take in
each day. If this food is not properly burned off, it may be stored as
unwanted fat.

Now while the thyroid gland helpfully stores iodine from the blood
passing through it every 17 minutes, the gland may also be made to lose
that stored iodine if, for example, we take in drinking water to which
chlorine is added, or use too much sodium chloride, whose common name is
table salt. There is a well-known law of halogen displacement. The halogen
group is made up as follows:
RelativeHalogen
Atomic WeightFluorine 19.Chlorine
35.5Bromine
80.Iodine
127.

The critical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse
proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four can
displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an
element with a lower atomic weight. For example, fluorine
can displace chlorine, bromine and iodine because fluorine
has a lower atomic weight than the other three. Similarly, chlorine can
displace bromine and iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight.
Likewise, bromine can displace iodine from the body because iodine has
a higher atomic weight. But a reverse order is not possible. A knowledge
of this well-known chemical law brings us to a consideration of the addition
of chlorine to our drinking water as a purifying agent. We secure a drinking
water that is harmful to the body not because of its harmful germ content
but because the chlorine content now causes the body to lose the much-needed
iodine.

Because we may live in an iodine-poor area; because drinking water
may be treated with chlorine; because we may be sick too often, lack energy
and endurance, develop nervous tension, lack the ability of clear thinking,
and accumulate unwanted fat, how shall we go about bringing up the iodine
content of the body to the point needed?There are three ways:1. Eating foods which analysis has shown are particularly rich in
iodine. Among these are: all food out of the ocean, radishes, asparagus,
carrots, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, potatoes, peas, strawberries, mushrooms,
lettuce, bananas, cabbage, egg yolk, and onions.2. Painting a small area of the body with tincture of iodine.3. Taking preparations known to be rich in iodine. One of these
is cod-liver oil. Another is Lugol's solution of iodine. Still another
is kelp.

In 1829 a French physician named Lugol originated a solution which
contains iodine in a solution of potassium iodide. It has been used
steadily ever since it was originated.

When used to maintain the iodine content of the body the dose is
small and is taken only on certain days of the week. When the mineral content
of the body is analyzed, only a trace of iodine is found. Ten drops of
iodine represent more iodine than is found in the entire body. For this
reason, the dose of Lugol's solution of iodine is one or two drops
(In this article Dr. Jarvis is speaking about Lugol's Solution 5%.
When using Lugol's Solution 2% use 2-3 single drops to get the equivalent),
depending on your body weight. If you weigh 150 pounds or less, for example,
your dose to maintain the normal iodine content of the body is one drop,
taken at one meal on Tuesday and Friday of each week. If you weigh more
than 150 pounds, the dose should be two drops instead of one. It is useful
to remember that the human body works on the minimum of anything it needs.
If there should be a rise in sickness in the area where you live, it would
be well to take the Lugol's solution three times a week instead of two,
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for the purpose of storing up reserve.

How is the drop of the solution to be taken, on the directed days?
In general, medical men prescribe iodine to be taken on an empty stomach,
preferably 20 minutes before food is taken. During the passing years Vermont
folk medicine has worked out a different plan and it is one I like to follow.
It has been referred to in another connection elsewhere in this book. To
repeat, adding one teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water
to make the water acid in reaction, holding the medicine dropper horizontal
in order to get a maximum drop, one drop of the Lugol's solution is added
to the mixture. The contents are stirred with a spoon and sipped through
the course of the meal, as one would drink a cup of coffee or tea.

In relation to supplemental use of iodine, my studies of certain
dairy herds has revealed interesting evidences of the relationship between
host and microorganisms, viruses, insects, and other parasites .With one
herd the veterinary bill had generally run $150.00 and sometimes more a
year. At my suggestion, three drops of Lugol's solution of iodine was added
to the daily four ounces of apple cider vinegar. Thereafter it was only
neccessary to call the veterinary once in a period of eight months, to
see a sick cow. In contrast to this, another herd, to which Lugol's solution
was not given, had plenty of sick-ness. In an 8-month period it was necessary
to spend $50.00 for penicillin in order to save seriously sick cows.

I have observed that lice will leave the hide of a cow that receives
apple cider vinegar and iodine; also that flies will not bite the cows
when they are on pasture, though flies will and do bite young cattle not
receiving the apple cider vinegar and iodine.In a herd troubled with abortions-evidence of the work of the Bru
celia abortus microorganism which grows on an alkaline medium and causes
contagious abortion in cattle called Bang's disease, or brucellosis-abortions
promptly stopped when each feeding ration received a supplemental three
drops of Lugol's solution of iodine to each two ounces of the apple cider
vinegar.

While studying selected herds, I became interested in the problem
of cattle grubs. These are the larvae, or maggots, of the heel fly. The
adult fly does not bite or sting, but it produces great fear and
is a serious annoyance to the cattle. Eggs are deposited in a row attached
to a single hair of a cow's heel during the first sunny days of spring.
The eggs incubate and hatch in three or four days and the newly hatched
maggots penetrate the hide of the cow, causing itching and a flow of serum
that mats the hair. The young grubs then work their way upward between
the muscles and may be found in a few months in the body cavities. They
continue to burrow along the surface of the paunch, intestines, and other
internal organs. At certain times many of them are found in the wall of
the esophagus, leading from the mouth to the stomach. During the fall and
winter the grubs will finally come to the top of the back and lie just
under the hide. Each grub cuts a hole through the hide to the surface to
get the air which it now needs, and to permit it to escape when ripe. The
period spent beneath the hide usually runs from 30 to 90 days. These grubs
emerge from the hide dur-ing February and March, dropping to the ground
to hatch into heel flies. In 18 to 80 days after escaping from the back
of the cow, the adult fly hatches and is ready to mate within a half hour.

My object was to rout these cattle grubs by means of the apple cider
vinegar and iodine combination; this would demonstrate, to me at least,
what the combination would do in the way of making the body as a host unsuitable
soil for the development and continuing existence of microorgan isms, viruses,
insects, and other parasites.

During one year's time only ten grubs were discovered on the backs
of a herd of 45 registered Jersey cows. Usually these grubs are a little
larger round than a pencil, but these ten grubs had such hard going in
the cows' bodies against the vinegar and iodine that they were no larger
around than toothpicks. I observed further with reference to a ration supplement
high in iodine value that when it was used, the bacterial count of the
milk went down; when iodine was dis-continued, the count went up but could
be driven down again immediately with resumption of the iodine.

From Dr. William Weston of South
Carolina and his experience with race horses wintered there, I gained
interesting and valuable insight into the value of iodine in the body,
and its relation to endurance.About 100 race horses are wintered where
he lives. Two years previous to a visit I paid him, the man in charge
of the horses came to him saying that a horse was under his care which
had everything it takes to win the Kentucky Derby. If they could just learn
precisely how to feed this horse to maintain its speed capability, he believed
the horse would have an outstanding racing season. Would Dr. Weston help
him by planning the feeding of the horse?

Dr. Weston was greatly interested and consented to do so As a first
step he asked for samples of any and all foods given the horse. The samples
were analyzed at the South Carolina Food Research Laboratory. As a result
of the analysis, Dr. Weston advised increasing the iodinecontent
of the ration by incorporating into it foods specifically rich in
iodine. This was done. In the ensuing season the horse won every race in
which it was entered.

As a result of the experience, two wealthy race-horse owners invited
Dr. Weston to come to their horse farms to discuss the feeding of their
stock. Again iodine-rich foods were added to the usual rations, with the
same result; every horse fed on iodine-rich diet won every race in which
it was entered. This seems to be a complete demonstration of the relation
of iodine to energy and endurance. Subsequently, Dr. Weston sent me a copy
of a letter addressed to him as chairman of the South Carolina Food Research
Commission. It well illustrates the need of observing the obligation to
Nature which must be observed by a daily intake of iodine. The letter ran
as follows:

Dear Dr. Weston:Now that we have reached the halfway mark of this racing season,
I should like to tell you some of our observations of the results of wintering
our horses in South Carolina, and feeding them your home grown feeds.After six years of experiment with several hundred horses, we are
more convinced than ever that your foods, abundant in iodine and balanced
in mineral content, are the saving factor in many of our horses. Allow
me to give you an example. This summer an epidemic of influenza and coughing
broke out among two year olds at the New York tracks. It spread like wildfire
through the stables, and all the old cures and preventives were useless
against it. We have checked carefully and find that none of the horses
that were wintered in South Carolina, were affected. Naturally we spoke
of this often, and by so doing attracted the attention of many people to
South Carolina, and the merits of your theories and findings.We have found that our horses are almost immune to skin diseases,
distemper, and other contagious diseases after they have been wintered
in South Carolina and brought to the tracks where these ailments are taking
their toll. You have observed how quickly we can cure these various ailments
in young horses. We believe that the blood is so cleansed by the action
of iodine from your feeds and water, that all common infections are removed,
and the system so toned up that it is in shape to fight and ward off anything
except direct infection through an open wound. A few years ago a good trainer
was one who could bring his horses to the races well fed and bulging with
muscle. But the make-up of these muscles, and the contents of the bloodstream
feeding them, is the determining factor in having a really fit and ready
horse. In appreciation of the good you have done our horses, and the things
we have learned from your efforts, we trust that you will find time this
coming season to again spend considerable time at the fair grounds, and
conduct further experiments on our stock.

In order to learn whether instinct played a part in leading dairy
cows to food rich in iodine, the owner of a mixed herd of 54 cows which
I had previously studied built a special feeding station for me at the
end of the lane leading from the barnyard. The station was divided into
four compartments, roofed over to protect them from rain. In one compartment
was placed a feeding supplement,nationally advertised, which contained
iodine and other minerals in inorganic form. The second compartment was
supplied with bone meal, the third compartment with a feeding supplement
made of ocean kelp, in which all the minerals are in organic form. The
fourth compartment contained salt. We stood nearby to observe what happened
when the cows passed this feeding station for the first time.

Each cow sniffed at each compartment. They passed by without touching
the feeding supplement made of inorganic minerals. A few took some of the
bone meal, and a few some of the salt. But what they really converged on
was the kelp, which as has been said contains more iodine than anything
else that grows. As fast as we could fill up the compartment they would
clean it out. This settled the point for us: COWS like iodine and in organic,
which is to say natural, form. Subsequently I offered kelp to two registered
Jersey bulls in the barn. They took it quickly and teased for more.

One of my friends raises hunting dogs as a hobby. The dogs are Brittany
spaniels. When they have been trained to hunt, he sells them.Being impressed by the favorable effects of apple cider vinegar
on his own health and body endurance, he asked me if it would be all right
to try giving the vinegar to his dogs. He thought they tired too easily
when hunting. We decided on the following method. When the dogs were not
hunting, one tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar would be added to the
ration of each dog once a day. When they were hunting, there would be a
tablespoonful added twice a day. After following this method for three
years at these kennels, the following conclusions were reached:If a hunting dog has (1) one tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar
added to his ration once a day during the off-hunting season; (2), one
tablespoonful added to his ration twice a day when used for hunting; (3)
one tablespoonful added to his drinking water while hunting, whenever he
is given a drink; (4) one tablespoonful of undiluted vinegar when the dog
is thirsty and no drinking water is available, the following results were
noted:

1. A dog receiving the apple cider vinegar will not tire easily.
The average dog that has not received it is good for three to four hours
of hunting a day. A dog receiving it will hunt eight to ten hours steady
during the day. Apple cider vinegar clearly increases the hunting dog's
endurance.2. A dog receiving the apple cider vinegar will be able to point
and retrieve every bird for as many as four hunters hunting at the same
time.3. A dog receiving the vinegar will not show shortness of breath
at any time while hunting.4. A dog receiving the vinegar will maintain a good appetite and
eat every meal while being used for hunting.5. A dog receiving the vinegar will not lose weight while hunting.

Having now traced the use of iodine to increase the speed and endurance
of race horses and the endurance of hunting dogs, let us adapt what we
have learned to the health side of the daily life of a business executive.
On rising in the morning he will drink a glass of water while dressing
into which one or two teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar has been mixed.
What may he expect to accomplish by doing this?

The knowledge that acids thin body fluids has been brought over from
the days when blood-letting was a common form of treatment. We have found
in the barn that the milk of a normal cow is weakly acid. When the reaction
of the milk changes to alkaline, the milk becomes soup-thick. This thickness
will disappear and the milk will return to its normal watery character,
however, if and when the cow is given four ounces of apple cider vinegar
and four ounces of water by mouth from a bottle, night and morning.

There are other ways of observing this principle in action but this
is sufficient here. The point is, no busy executive wants his blood to
be on the thick side, like soup; he under-stands that it should be thin,
in order to circulate easily throughout the body, making easy work for
his heart as it pumps blood with each beat.

At breakfast this man omits wheat foods, wheat cereals, white sugar,
and citrus fruits and fruit juices because in the majority of people these
foods change the normal acid reac-tion of the urine to alkaline. The alkalinity
is a signal that the blood is thicker than it should be, that it is not
easily circulated and requires more heart effort to pump it. There-fore
this man replaces these unwise foods with rye and corn foods and cereals.
Instead of white sugar he uses honey. In place of citrus foods and citrus
juices he takes the contents of a bottle of fruit sold at the grocery store
under the name Junior Foods. Or, if he chooses, he may take apple, grape,
or cranberry juice.

At lunchtime he takes two teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar and
two teaspoonfuls of honey in a glass of water. In this way he obtains acid
taken up from the soil by fruit, berries, edible leaves, and roots, and
the energy from the sun which exists in honey. This is a prime pick-up
drink. He may take it before, during, or after lunch. A vinegar made from
the whole crushed apple is best for the purpose.

When a person is organizing his body for a day of dynamic action,
the organization shifts the urine reaction from the normal, or acid, to
the alkaline. It is not advisable, therefore, to eat foods at the morning
meal which will, so to speak, duplicate the shift. For this reason the
wheat foods, white sugar, and citrus fruits and their juices are omitted,
so that at the end of the day he will return home with less mental and
physical fatigue.

At the evening meal he will also take the two teaspoonfuls of honey
and two teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. He may
like to take it before the meal, as a cocktail, or during the meal.

It is beneficial also to start the meal with a leafy green salad,
to get the benefit of the acid from the soil and the energy from the sun
stored up in the leaves. If the day has been one of overwork and anxiety,
turn to fish or other seafood, for that will supply the iodine and potassium
that will calm down the nervous system. Try to have such muscle meats as
beef, lamb, or pork only twice a week, and then on days when you have a
light schedule, because muscle meat organizes your body on a combat basis,
which you do not want from food. Try to bear in mind that the internal
organs of an animal, such as the liver, represent the animal storehouse
against the time of need. It will be well for you to have liver or liverwurst
once a week. Gradually, by following the foregoing plan, you can make changes
in your daily food selection so that the intake will counterbalance your
heavy expenditure of strength and energy.

Supposing you do follow the suggestions outlined above and yet find
that some weeks the pressures of your private and your business life are
causing you to lose the ability to bounce back. Then you should add a drop
of Lugol's solution of iodine to your glass of apple or grape juice at
breakfast, or you may take it in the mixture of apple cider vinegar and
water. The point is that the potassium in the solution blocks off the body
mechanism that organizes for aggressive action, releasing its hold on the
body when opportunity for rest and relaxation arises. The iodine swings
into action the body mechanism which organizes the body for peace and quiet
and the building up and storing of body reserves. When working under pressure,
include the Lugol's solution dose each day until the period of pressure
passes. If it should happen that your body becomes saturated with iodine,
you will find that there is an increase of moisture in the nose. If this
occurs, omit the iodine until the nose is normal.

As you study yourself you will soon learn to tell when you need iodine.
When a night's sleep does not bring you to the beginning of the new day
with the energy you are accustomed to have, you will begin to think of
iodine. If you learn how to use it, it will restore the capacity to bounce
back and sustain your well-being.

More on the usefulness of iodine
from Dr. Jarvis' out of print bookArthritis and Folk Medicine

A young Vermonter not only learns about the
virtues of apple cider vinegar, but he is also taught the value of
Lugol's Solution of Iodine, which was devised in the nineteenth century
by a French physician.

At one time I enlisted the aid of twelve small children, none of
them more than five years old, who were to serve as human guinea pigs for
two years, so that the second year might be compared to the first year.
The object of this study was to learn whether little children got
sick on an alkaline urine or on an acid urine background. In time I learned
that they did indeed become ill on the alkaline reaction and recovered
when the urine was restored to its normal acid reaction.

There were twins in this group of children, and their mother said
to me, " Dr. Jarvis, what am I going to do? One of these girls is a race
horse and the other is a farm horse. I mean that one is nervous, high strung,
and irritable and won't accept discipline. She is always ready to fight.
But the other one has a calm even disposition; she's always so peaceful
and quiet. My problem is that the race horse twin keeps both her calm sister
and me stirred up all the time. It doesn't do any good to spank her because
she just blows up and I have a worse problem on my hands. Tell me, how
are we going to live with this girl?"

"Lets' turn to Vermont folk medicine," I said, " and use Lugol's
solution of iodine to release the continued activity of the energy expending
mechanism in her body. Any time her motor shifts into high and she shows
the increased speed by becoming a discipline problem, add a teaspoonful
of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water in order to make the water in
the glass acid in reaction. Then add two drops of Lugol's solution of iodine
tot he glass of water, and after the mixture is stirred have her drink
it. Give it to her whenever, she seems to need it to get into lower gear.
It can be done anytime during the day, at meals or between meals."

Two weeks later the mother reported that her race horse daughter
quieted down within two hours after the dosage I had recommended was given,
and with the continued help of the solution she was able to control the
child easily. Sometimes she gave it everyday if it seemed to be needed,
or at longer intervals if there were no outbursts.

Today the twin who was treated is married and in her own home. With
the aid of iodine and vinegar during here growing years her human motor
was brought under control and she developed into a normal girl. By the
time she graduated from high school the tantrums of her childhood were
only a memory. But if she ever becomes high- strung and irritable again,
she will know the remedy.

I recall another child whose mother was a professor in a college
for women before her marriage to a man who was a university graduate. Their
first child, a girl, had an even disposition and was easy to live with,
but their second, another girl, was the kind of race horse type I have
just discussed. The mother came to me with the same complaint as the harassed
mother of the twins, and again I suggested the same folk medicine remedy
of iodine and vinegar. Once more the treatment worked perfectly. The mother
gave me an almost identical report: within two hours her daughter was a
different child.

As time passed, this girl too developed into a normal high school
student and was later extremely successful in college, where she developed
her really fine mind and her artistic abilities, as well as the ability
she had acquired to get along with others and make friends.

Two drops of Lugol's solution of iodine works equally well in an
adult. When the stress and strain of daily living create a load that is
difficult to carry, producing a state of anxiety, and when the day's problems
make it difficult to relax and sleep well at night, then one appreciates
the aid that iodine gives.

In an adult two teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar and two of honey
are added to a glass of water. The honey is there because it is a sedative.
Then add two drops of Lugol's solution of iodine to the glass containing
the vinegar and- honey mixture, stir it, and sip it during the meal as
you would coffee or tea. Taken apart from the meal it can be sipped
like a cocktail. Soon your motor will have slipped into low gear. Your
problems and their solution will seem less difficult, and the day's load
of responsibility easier to carry. In this age of anxiety the
combination of iodine with vinegar and water will give the harassed
individual increased energy and the endurance necessary to carry the daily
load. You will find that the wear and tear of daily living is considerably
reduced.

The same remedy can be applied to cattle, in a somewhat different
way than I have already described in the treatment of mastitis, although
in the example I have in mind the reason fro administering it was the same.
My farmer friend called me one day to inform me that four of his best cows
were sick with acute mastitis of their udders. The veterinarian had been
using the bacteriological approach, employing the sulfa drugs, but without
success. He had just left the barn, said the farmer, telling him that the
cows were going to die. Could I save them?

I told him that attacking bacteria as a solution to medical problems
had not always proved successful, as far as I was concerned, and I recommended
that we try Vermont folk medicine, seeking to release the energy expending
mechanism from its continued activity.

My plan was to change the physiology and chemistry of each cow's
body by giving her morning , noon, and night a "blood wash" as folk medicine
expresses it. We would give each cow by mouth from a bottle four ounces
of apple cider vinegar, four ounces of water, and a teaspoonful of Lugol's
solution, all mixed together.

Before the treatment was applied these cows were running temperatures
as high as 107 degrees. After it was given, the fever began to drop at
once, and by the end of the week all four had recovered from their sickness.
Three of the cows returned to milk production. The fourth did not produce
milk until her next calf was born and a new lactation period was started.

The folk medicine approach that is, releasing the energy expanding
mechanism from continued activity by giving a "blood wash"- works if sickness
with an accompanying elevation of temperature is present in a human. Often
a single teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water with two drops of Lugol's
solution of iodine added will cause the body temperature to drop when the
solution is taken morning, noon and evening. Continued use often brings
rapid recovery from sickness.

When you take Lugol's solution you are taking an excellent catalyst
which has the ability to start, and continue at a rapid pace, physiological
and chemical processeswithin the body that would not otherwise begin, or if begun, would
proceed at a slow pace. Iodine increases the rapidity of the start, and
rate of speed as well. By means of a catalyst the individual is able to
control the internal environment and bring peace to the body.

If a harmful virus or microorganism is among the factors which cause
arthritis Lugol's solution of iodine will be helpful. In the herd of dairy
cows I studied, I decreased the bacteria count of the milk markedly, as
I have shown previously, by adding three drops of iodine to two ounces
of apple cider vinegar, the whole poured over the ration of each cow at
every feeding twice a day.

For pasteurized milk, I might add, a count of five thousand bacteria
in each cubic centimeter of milk is acceptable to the creamery laboratory.
With the addition of vinegar and iodine to the ration the bacteria count
dropped to less that a thousand and did not rise. Often it was five hundred
or less.

Often used in cleaning and as a water treatment disinfectant for
equipment and areas where livestock are kept.

"If you care to go to school go to the honey bees, fowl, cats, dogs,
goats, mink, calves, dairy cows, bulls and horses and allowthem to teach you their ways, you will gain an insight into physiological
and biochemical medicine not to be learned from medicalbooks. Verified by observing results in animals, this medicine,
which is passed from generation to generation by word of mouthenables great numbers of Vermonters to continue carrying heavy daily
work loads and to go on well past the Scripturalthree-score-and-ten years into good physical and mental vigor, good
digestion, good eyesight and good hearing, avoiding senilityto the very end."Dr. D.C. Jarvis
